CAT of the Month
Meet Minnie
Minnie is a 6-year-old orange short-haired beauty who may have started out a little shy, but once she realized she was safe and loved, she completely blossomed into a total cuddle bug. And bonus fun fact — she’s an orange female, which makes her extra special!
She adores affection, eagerly looks forward to her daily canned food treat, and happily comes out for pets and snuggles when her foster mom is around.
This month, Minnie is proudly celebrating Pet Dental Month after having a dental cleaning and extractions last month — and what a difference it has made! She’s truly become a brand-new, happy cat now that she’s feeling so much better. 🦷✨
We are incredibly grateful to Hillsdale Animal Hospital for taking such wonderful care of Minnie and helping her feel her very best.
Minnie gets along well with other cats, has perfect litter box manners, is spayed, and is fully ready for her forever home. She’s a gentle, loving soul who would thrive in a calm home where she can continue to enjoy all the comforts she deserves.
Looking for a sweet, affectionate companion to share your life with? Minnie is your girl. 🧡🐾
dog of the Month
Meet Meeko
— Our Long-Timer with a Heart of Gold —
Meeko is a 2-year-old, 42-pound mixed breed with a sleek black coat and expressive eyes that stop you in your tracks. He came into rescue in March of 2024 after being found as a stray, and while he was estimated to be just a puppy at the time, he’s grown into a happy, affectionate young dog who is more than ready for a fresh start.
He loves being petted, adores his toys (truly — toys are his happy place), and still has that fun puppy spirit balanced with a growing sense of maturity. Meeko does well with routine, sleeps through the night in his crate, has no known medical issues, and knows how to sit — even if his excitement sometimes makes his wiggly butt take over.
He can be a little timid around new people at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet and friendly personality shines. He’s smart, eager to please, and would thrive with continued training and positive reinforcement.
Meeko would love a home with a fenced yard, where he can run, explore, and enjoy the kind of outdoor time he’s used to. He may be dog-selective, so slow introductions and supervised meet-and-greets are recommended if there’s another dog in the home. He hasn’t been around cats, and while he’s had limited exposure to children, he’s done well with calm, supervised interactions.
Most of all, Meeko is looking for a patient, committed family who will give him time to settle in, help build his confidence, and continue guiding him as he grows. He seems to genuinely want to do the right thing — the kind of dog who forms a deep bond and becomes incredibly loyal to his people.
This Valentine’s Day, Meeko isn’t asking for chocolates or roses. He’s hoping for a family who will choose him — someone ready to give him the love, structure, patience, and playtime he deserves after waiting nearly a year.
If you're looking for your valentine, Meeko may be your match.
